2026 Players Seeing Their Stock Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every week, it seems there is a new freshman that is having their name mentioned. It is a very critical time of the offseason. A lot of players are using this time to raise their stock. Now is the time for players to get out to camps and show off their talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='953409' first='Mac' last='McDaniel'], ATH, Columbia</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a player that needs to be talked about. Last season he had over 120 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 6 touchdowns. McDaniel is very athletic. He is elusive with good speed. He plays the game with a lot of heart. McDaniel always keeps his motor idled up for a big performance. He also excels on the baseball field. He is a player to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='676572' first='Anthony' last='Jones'], EDGE/LB, St Paul</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones brings a lot of power to the game. He is a 6-foot-4, 230-pound defensive end/linebacker that plays that game with a lot of anger. He is very vicious with his hands. I feel sorry for any offensive tackle that has to deal with him all night. Running backs don't want to run the ball to high when he is in their area. He will make you pay for it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='808558' first='Parker' last='Pritchett']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best part about his game is the way he is patient with his hands. A lot of younger offensive linemen try to anticipate what their defender is doing. He knows how to allow the defensive player to show his hand before attacking. Pritchett is a player that is going to make it to the division one level. Some people even expect for him to be a power five football player on the next level. He definitely has the size to do so.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691270' first='Braeden' last='Gregory'], RB, Magee</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='691270' first='Braeden' last='Gregory'] has a very decent performance at the Rivals Camp in Dallas, Texas this past weekend. We all know Gregory for the amazing speed that he has. This weekend, he was able to learn some things about pass blocking and route running. Gregory was also able to go up against some of the best talent in the nation. Not just in his class, but the whole nation. I expect Gregory to have a very big season this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
